Happy Halloween, everybody. I'm Tim Priester with Tim O'Malley and Drew Mettock. We are Irish

Illustrated, and this is the Irish Illustrated Insider podcast, by week edition on a Thursday. I'm going to talk

about a variety of topics, some of the stuff that we've been working on during the week,

Norden Basketball, Open Men's and Men's and women's last night in exhibition fashion.

We'll talk about that a little bit.

And it appears the Nordenby opening with Miami next year.

So that'll be an interesting way to get things rolling in 2025.

But let's talk about where Notre Dame is. Look, we look at these four opponents and they're

very beatable. You know, Florida State is a bad football team right now. Virginia is a pretty bad

football team. Army's got a whole bunch of fancy stats and they have played, like we talked about

Navy schedule. The Army schedule has been much worse than that, I think, at this bunch of fancy stats and they have played like we talked about navy schedule then army schedule

has been much worse than that i think at this point they don't they haven't played somebody like

mephus and then USC at USC nordames lost seven in the last 10 there so we'll get to that but

tim your thoughts on on on where nondon is and whererame is with these opponents coming up.

Yeah, we've gotten a lot of jokes about jinxes with Riley Leonard interception.

So I'm going to go ahead and throw the other jinx out there three weeks ago when I said,

I think Norneem will lose another game after they beat Louisville.

And then I doubled down and said there's a 14% less chance that Notre Dame will lose

another game after they won another.

I think Notre Dame is going to go undefeated now.

But I think the hardest game will indeed be what I said.

And what Tim Priester said, I'm positive.
